CAusFs OF HAY FEvER.-Tbe afIectio

CAUSES OF HAY FEvER-The affection
known as hay fever appears to be result
of local irritations of unduly sensitive
areas in the nose and in the respiratory
passages below. The pollen of some plant
is usually supposed to be the irritant, but
this is not always the case. The late DIR.
Flint was troubled only when lying on
feathers, and in other persons the attacks
are brought on by emanations from ami
mals-such as the horse, the rabbit, the
cat, etc The electric cautery and various
other remedies have been applied with
more or less success, but as vet there seems
to be no specific to be recommended, and
the best treatment, when available, is re-
moval to a pollen-free atmosphere, or to
one from which at least grass pollen is
absent.

DON'T!

Let that cold of yours run on! You
think it is q light thing. But it may
run into catarrh, or into pneumonia, OF

pneumonia is dangerous, and consump-

apparatus must be kept healthy and
clear of all Instructions and offensive
matter; otherwise there is trouble
ahead. All the diseases Of these parts
head, nose, throat, bronchial tubes
and lungs, can be delightfully."- and en-
tirely cured by the use of Boschee's

THE following complimentary no,
tice of our fellow-townsman, JAS. An
drows, we find in the Peoples Banner,
published at Ada, in Grant Parish :
We had q pleasant call, a few days since,
from James Andrews, Esq, of Alexandria.
Mr.. Andrews is very atfable gentleman.
He is candidate for District Attorney of
the 10Th Judicial District. He is an able
lawyer, gentleman above reproach, and
would make a District Attorney inferior
to none. A lifelong Democrat, yet at the
same time willing to grant honesty OF
opinion to those who differ with him. He
is very strong in Rapides and Avoyelles,
and we think Grant would do well to give
him her support, and feel sure he will Sc.
cure handsome aid therefrom. We think
Mr.. Andrews chances are very good to be
our next District Attorney, and cheerfully
recommend him TO the peoples favorable
consideration.
